Hickey in Hospital After Electrical Mishap Tuesday, November 21st , 1967 Empires center fielder Roger Hickey is recovering at a local hospital today and is reportedly in fair condition after suffering a severe electrical shock at his home yesterday. According to team officials Hickey, had been doing some remodeling in his basement when he was electrocuted by an exposed wire. An initial report late last night indicated Hickey was unconscious when an ambulance arrived and that he may have gone into cardiac arrest while being transported to the hospital, but that rumor could not be substantiated today. "Frankly, he's lucky to be alive," said teammate Leandrew Davis, who visited Hickey in the hospital this morning. "His doctors say his prognosis is very good, but he's gonna be out of commission for a little while." A hospital spokesman indicated that Hickey will likely be released tomorrow. However, team officials suggest it may be at least a week before he will be allowed to return to full activity. |
